The biggest problem many people dont understand or at least acknowlodge here, since this is a forum dedicated to one brand is the time=progression when it comes to technology. If something is new we expect it to be better than what came before it. I see a lot of excuses and sales "figures" and other stuff . Simply put if a consumer buys something that is brand new many expect it should be better ( and possibly smaller) than a past model. If not the price should just be much lower than what it derived from. With Canon we dont really get that. There are more side grades than upgrades until a significant amount of time goes by in technology standards. Here is the idea simplified anything released 2020>2019>2018>2017>2016 etc. I dont see how peopel get so defensive about that criticism. Do you not want to get more for your money if possible unless you collect profit from the money being saved....
I tried to bring up this point but people got so defensive as if it's a personal attack against them.
If there are no significant upgrade, I wouldn't consider upgrading my current camera to FF mirrorless. There got to be a substantial improvements in multiple area for me to consider otherwise I would rather skip a generation like I did with Canon 6D II. I don't shoot video so Canon weakness in that area doesn't matter to me. I understand this camera and EOS R wasn't target to me, but I was just discussing how Canon 6D II is an incremental upgrade over 6D after 5 years while being much more expensive.
The same thing is occurring with smart phones nowaday. If there isn't a significant upgrade for me, I wouldn't upgrade and pay the premium to buy a new phone.
My account was created since 2016 and yet people called me a troll and pointed about sales figures. I hope Canon share some of those profits with you guys.
If you look at my post history, I have blame Sony for poor ergonomic, poor EVF, fully touch screen LCD but also give praise where it needed to be which is competitive price, better eyeAF, IBIS, dual card slot in all their camera. Even at $1600 A7III, the poor EVF and ergonomic wasn't enough to sway me to buy it.
If they just add 5.6 million EVF in their A7III with fully touch screen like a6400 and implement the new eyeAF, I would seriously consider that camera.
Canon doesn't need to do a lot to get my money - dual card slot, add joystick, add IBIS, better sensor than 5D IV, and better eyeAF. I don't care about 4K. If they charge $3500, I'll buy it.
